This will win your LYNN 8AY8: Vegetables with interesting background and good vitamin stories intrigue me. Take water­ cress, for instance. You may once have gathered this tender little green among brooks and runs, but its history harks back much longer than either you or I. Watercress is an excellent source of vitamin A which pro­ motes growth, increases resist­ ance to infective diseases and prevents eye diseases. Excellent too is watercress in vitamin C which is so essential to good bone and teeth formation. Vitamin B, too, is found in its leaves, and that, you know, stim­ ulates appetite and protects nerve and brain tissue and brain func­ tion. Its vitamin G content will help you have normal nutrition. The iron it contains In Its copper and magnesium deposits helps make blood and nourish teeth. •Apricot Upside-Down Meat Loaf Nut Bread Corn on the Cob Tossed Tomato.

(Released by Western Newspaper Unlow.) There was a gi*>d reason why Lord Beaverbrook, dynamic min­ ister of supply, listed tanks as the No. 1 objective of his visit to the U. S. He flew over largely to try to persuade our ar(,ny chiefs to lend- lease him the major share of our growing output. There is sharp division In the army over this. Armored unit com­ manders have been champing at the bit for the tanks now beginning to roll off assembly lines. They need the equipment not only to train their men and officers but to keep up morale—which sags when mod­ ern war machines are missing or simulated. Buck privates to generals have griped over being forced to ’’play at soldiering." This was one of the main causes for the strong senti­ ment among citizen soldiers against extension of their year's service. They could raise no enthusiasm for continuing to train without equip­ ment On the other hand, the general staff believes that it is far more vi­ tal to the Immediate security of the U. S. to let our tanks and other armament help hold off the Nazis 3,000 miles from our shores. The strategists contend that a U. S. tank is performing infinitely more valuable service knocking out Nazis on the torrid deserts of North Africa, or the bloody steppes of Rus­ sia, than using up oil in a training camp in Texas. They favor send­ ing most of our new tanks to Britain for the present, and Beaverbrook's mission is to clinch that argument.

Osborn Is wrll known In financial and Industrial circles. Confer W ith FDR British Need. The British need for tanks, par­ ticularly for the latest type. 32-ton medium tanks, is extremely urgent. It was lack of these that caused the rout in Greece and prevents the British from taking the offensive in Libya and on the continent. Also, without medium tanks the British would be in desperate straits should Hitler make his feared overland move into Spain and Portugal, across the Strait of Gibraltar and down the Atlantic coast of French West Africa to Dakar. Thanks to the U. S., the British are well supplied with light 12-ton tanks. So far they have received about 500, together with spare parts. These light tanks have given a good account of themselves. They are superior to similar German and Italian types. But mounting only 50-caliber guns and lightly armored, they are no match, as Greece and Libya have proved, for medium Axis tanks. • • • The F'BI has started an investigation of the fire which totally de­ stroyed the ExoIon company abrasives plant at Blasdell, N. Y.. which was engaged In manufacturing defense materials. The fire caused dam­ age estimated at more than a million dollars. Fire apparatus from Buf­ falo and surrounding suburbs helped light the flames. Above Is view of the ruins. L. II Korndorff (left), president of lhe struck Frdrral shipbuilding company, Kearney, N.

No Bottleneck Hen* — but There Will Be W cleome to Iceland STEEL SHOWDOWN The OPM and the steel industry finally have taken drastic steps to regulate supplies and increase ca- 1 pacity, but it took all kinds of nag­ ging by the government to get them to do it. One of the most spectacular of these nagging sessions took place in the OPM board room recently and was attended by Eugene Grace of Bethlehem Steel; Tom Girdler of Republic; Ernest Weir of Weir­ ton; Irving Olds, new head of U S. Steel, together with Ed Stettinius, the old head; Leon Henderson; , Knudsen; and representatives from the army, navy and maritime com­ mission. The steel manufacturers immedi­ ately put the government represent­ atives on the defensive with the ques­ tion: ’'Well, what do you want us to do? Cut off all steel to the con­ sumer?” Price Administrator Henderson re­ plied that such a curtailment would be disastrous, that steel to the con­ sumer could not be cut off right , away. Other government represent­ atives hemmed and hawed. So did the ship-builders. The meeting got nowhere. Finally Admiral Emory Land, rel­ ative of ex-Colonel Lindbergh, but no believer in his views, got up. 1 Land, chairman of the maritime Cork—the stuff you find In bottlenecks—1,000 tons of it—Is shown piled commission, is a close friend of I up on the deck of the- Portuguese ship 8. 8.

In addition to the cork, the ship brought manufacturers, the admiral gave 14 passengers.

I don't know what the I fault is, or whose fault it is. But I do know that the shipyards are four to six weeks behind because they haven’t got steel. And I also know that if you fellows want to. you can i correct that shortage. "You've been talking about ex­ panding your plants. Now if you mean business, instead of talking about iU-expand ” Next day the steel manufacturers announced their plan to build new factories and expand production. • • • New Economic Defense Council The U. 8. marines were greeted heartily by the British garrison In Iceland.

Draft W ins by 1 Vote ■i CAPITAL CHAFF White House press secretary Steve Early kept it to himself, but pri­ vately he was sore at the bungling of Churchill-Roosevelt press rela­ tions. If they had left it to him, the result would have been different. American editors resented the fact that first news of the meeting broke in London. A lot of other Ameri­ cans resented the idea that news about their own President had to come via the British censor. Roose­ velt himself, not the British, was to blame. Members of the President’s cabinet, and their representatives, hold an organization meeting In the office of Vice President Henry Wallace, forming an economic defense council.
